CAP FOR M USTARD-BOTT'LES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 294,885, dated March 11, 1884.

' Application filed January 14, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND WOLFE, of the city of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have inventeda new and Improved Gap for Mustard-Bottles, of which the following specification is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an improved cap for mustard-bottles of simple construction; and the invention consists, principally, in the combination of a ring having a flange with a lid having a flange, both flanges being turned up to form the hinge.

The invention also consists in the details of improvement hereinafter more fully set out.

' In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical central section of a mustard-bottle having my improved cap. Fig. 2 is a side View of the cap as applied to the bottle, and Fig. 3a perspective view of the cap.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

The letter A represents a mustard-bottle, and a is its neck. I

B is my improved cap, composed, essentially, of the ring I) and lid 0 hinged thereto. The ring I) is made out of one piece of sheet-metal tubing, and is provided with a flange, d, at its lower and a flange, e, at itsupper edge. These flanges are turned, respectively, under and, over the neck a, and thus securely fasten the ring I) to the bottle. The lid 0 has a downwardly-extending flange, f, that fits and closes i over upper edge of ring I). The hinge g, be-

tween the lid and ring, is placed on top and set back from the periphery of the ring. It is formed by turning the flanges cf upward and into the tubular sections of the hinge, into which a pin is then introduced. In order to enable this construction to be carried out, the flange f is cut away obliquely near the back of the lid, as shown, tapering until it merges intothe hinge. In thisway a simple hinge is formed, and one which will allow the lid to be thrown entirely back for the withdrawal of the cork. The ring I) has a knob, 71, punched out of it, and acorrespondingknob,i,is formed on an extension of flange f. These knobs serve as a lock for the lid.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination of ring I), having flange c, with lid 0, having flange f, the flanges e f being turned up to form hinge g, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of ring D, having flanges (Z c, with lid 0, having the tapering flange f, and with the hinge g, placed on top of and set back from periphery of ring I), substantially as specified.

3. The combination of flanged ring I) with flanged cap 0, hinged thereto by hinge 9, formed on top of ring 6, and-with knobs h i, punched out of the flanges of the ring and cap to form a lock, substantially as specified.

F. WOLFF.
